I just woke up from another bout of night sweats. They're really getting old. The worst part, is that even as I write this I realize how stupid I sound. I'm complaining that I'm so hot that the coldest air conditioning can not stop me from sweating like an Olympic athlete, and yet I'm going to have half of my skull removed and my brain pitted. Doesn't really make sense to complain about the discomfort already, but hey, it's where I'm at.

I think the night sweats are due to the steroid regimen, which instead of bulking me up like The Governor, are making my face puffy and round. Oh well, maybe it'll erase some of my crow's feet.

So sorry to hear about your lemon. :( But, I believe you will power through this. Your attitude in your blogs exemplify your will to overcome this big hurdle. Which I am sure won't be your last hurdle in your wonderful life. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Ron and I are cheering you on. Sounds like you hooked up with an exceptional Dr. Great persurverance! Showing your strength of determination going in will also help in a quick recovery. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Hey Jess, it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind and to bitch about anything she wants. My latest is "sea ants." They sting! We're all just really fortunate you're so honest and keep us laughing at this bizarre time in your life. Sweat, rock and roll & Hail the Chief! xo Susea & Gene

Thought of The Day

The Fundraiser

I am so grateful for the GoFundMe account that our friends set up. They started it last fall, because I stopped my treatments because of lack of funds, and now, possibly because of my lapse, I have a brain surgery scheduled for March 3rd, Dan's birthday. We are hopeful that our neurosurgeon will be able to remove the majority of the three brain tumors. But having it be out of state, it's complicated financially, and we are very thankful for your donations, and your prayers!
